Are you eating “real” food? Food for a healthy and hot human woman…as opposed to food to feed say, a vending machine? You know what I’m talking about and if not get yourself educated stat! The old adage “you are what you eat” may not be spot on when it comes to making a healthy humanperson but it is a place to start. There’s stuff you should eat if you want to look and feel good and there is definitely stuff you shouldn’t even look at let alone put in your belly.
Unfortunately in this day and age the stuff you shouldn’t eat is in large and overwhelming supply. But the good news is (more…)
It may seem a bit weird but I find a lot of psychological satisfaction from plucking my eyebrows. It’s a little thing really but does wonders at calming me down sometimes if I get a little riled up by work stuff or personal stuff or whatever. There’s other beautifying rituals I have in my life that not only make look better but also feel better and don’t require much time or effort. Painting my nails, putting on a little makeup, wearing a pretty top that compliments my skin tone – all sorts of wonderful little pick-me-ups I can benefit from. Beauty is more than just creating a pleasing surface to look at I think, or glamming it up for a special occasion – it’s found in the every day and can easily make you feel good about yourself when you look deeper.
What are your favorite beautifying rituals? How do they make you feel more than just a pretty face to behold?
One of my new favorite hobbies to express my creativity and add some day to day glamour is Nail Art. A few months ago I finally figured out how to come up with some fun but easy way to glamorously paint my own nails using stickers, glitter, polish, and whatever came to mind really! Check out my Nail Art Board on Pinterest (such a fun fun site!) to find some inspiration of your own :)
Hello Lovelies :) Just a short post today about expressing and spotlighting the one-of-a-kind qualities of loveliness that you possess. One of the best ways to identify a true Hot Girl is how she rocks her own look and feels comfortable in her own skin.
In order to really exude that confidence it’s important to choose makeup and beauty bling that doesn’t just cover you up but allows as much of your gorgeousness to shine thru.

Yesterday had a theme, right from the moment I woke up and that theme was BODY IMAGE.
First off on Facebook I was greeted by another giant album of family photos that my aunt furiously tagged – with every other photo of myself taken during my ridiculously awkward and self perceived ugly phase.
When I checked my email a photo sent to me of me on a bicycle pulled my scanning eyeballs directly to what seemed to be a pooching tummy and prompted a couple paranoid thoughts to bubble up about my current weight (the heaviest I’ve ever been after years and years of being underweight). They say (more…)
In a world with cookie cutter beauty queens and glammed up reality tv starlets the idea of standing out with one’s own can seem a bit daunting. The mom’s that proudly rock there own unique look with grace are truly wonderful and give their daughters a wonderful head start in the world where image is king.
My own mom shirked a lot of tradition in the realm of beauty – not born a buxom blonde she had to work with what she had: long limbs, brown hair, freckly skin. As I was growing up I noticed her penchant for cool. On a whim and because she could she went ahead and got a bunch of piercings. But rather than having them spread freakishly over her body she just had them all along her ears. It was quirky and weird and very unlike everyone else’s mom. She didn’t need to push her standard of beauty in everyone’s face, but was happy to show was quirky and interesting but still professional and approachable. Nowadays she’s simplified her routine a little so there isn’t as many earrings, but just the fact that she was confident enough to reclaim her own beauty in a unique way has been very inspiring to me.
My mom just doesn’t let the rest of the world make unreasonable demands on how she looks. She cuts her hair short, dyes it red herself, and doesn’t get too fussy with the makeup. Lucky for me she hasn’t force fed her own concept of beauty down my throat – allowing for a very different expression as I take inspiration from women’s magazines and celebrity style. But her influence has definitely taken root. No matter how much I take to a mainstream trend or look I always have to shape it to my own body, infuse it with my own personality.
My mom is beautiful this way and as a result so am I.
